Intro: i remember the kid in 7th grade that spat in my face over a girl 6 of his friends came over, egging him on, kicking my ass over a girl now i just ran away and it's with me still today but i'm reminded of that kid by you i try to change the scenery and you act like you're over me and i've become a swatted fly again i bring you down off the shelf and you tell me to fuck myself and i've become a swatted fly again i've made choices not quite from the heart. i'd hide in my shell over a girl when i break through you shut me down. i'm outta my hell into your world now i know i should take the bad with the good but everything tells me to walk away you put a smile on my face and then you put me in your place and i've become a swatted fly again when anything i say or do is never good enough for you i've become a swatted fly again i'll never be your swatted fly again
